1. Yes, but I can't seem to find the reference.
2. No clue.
3. The devs never stated, however the common assumption is that ti was changed for copyright reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Talsorian_Games
4. It was in the last patch (the Dual Pistols one): http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Patch_Notes/2010-03-02

They're monomolecular blades. Why the haft of a bow needs to be one molecule thick, I've no idea, but there's the answer for ya. Do with it what you will.

Yeah, the width (or rather, lack thereof) of the bow is REALLY irritating, and it looks really bad because the character's posture is such that you're almost always looking at it right down the narrow side, so half the time it doesn't even render.|

Can we please get SOME width to the Talsorian Bow? This is really disappointing!

IIRC BAB's explanation was that the Talsorian "blades" are force fields projected into a monomolecular structure. When the blade comes in contact with anything, the structure fails and is reformed almost instantly, which causes it to act a bit like a saw instead of a razor.|

Think of it like railguns vs black powder guns. Same general effect, different means.

Out-of-game, no explanation, but speculation says that the R. Talsorian Gaems company wasn't too keen on the "free publicity."

So I love Vanguard\Talsorian weapons and I just had a couple questions regarding them.
1.) Did we ever find out what these were made of? Are they energy weapons of some sort, if so , what kind? If not, what the hell are they?
2.) Where did Vanguard get the tech for these? Stolen rikti tech? If so, why don't rikti have weapons like this?
3.) Why was the name changed from Talsorian to Vanguard? Does this have anything to do with lore or upcoming GR? (If it does does anyone really know?)
4.) When did they make Talsorian katana, broad sword and blades available across the 3 bladed sets? I love that they did that, I've been suggesting it for a while, I judt didn't realize they had.
